Chapter 175 They wished they could be together every single moment.
Xu Yuecheng slurped up the noodles in his bowl.
The large bowl covered half of his face, and all that could be heard was the sound of a gust of wind sweeping away the clouds.
These hand-pulled noodles are chewy and delicious. Paired with sesame oil and a poached egg, a few bites are enough to fill up most of the emptiness in your stomach.
He raised his eyelids and glanced at the person opposite him.
Xiao Lan ate slowly and deliberately, picking up each noodle one by one, his red lips slightly parted, each small bite barely enough to fill a gap between his teeth.
There was already little noodles in her bowl, and now there was more than half left.
Xu Yuecheng frowned, reached over with his chopsticks, picked up the half-eaten fried egg from his own bowl that he hadn't yet eaten, and started to scoop noodles into her bowl.
Eat more.
Xu Yuecheng mumbled incoherently, "If a cat eats so little, how will it have the energy to keep up with me? This is good noodles, don't waste it."
Xiao Lan reacted quickly, using her chopsticks to block the bowl.
"Take it."
Xiao Lan leaned back, looking disgusted. "Eating so much so late at night, I'll gain weight around my waist and won't be able to fit into my old pants anymore."
She looked down at her flat stomach and touched it. "I've been eating and drinking well over there these past few days, and I feel like my waist has gotten bigger. It's summer now, and I still have to wear those polyester dresses. If my belly shows, it will look awful."
In this day and age, being able to gain weight is a blessing, but for Xiao Lan, beauty is more important than anything else.
"What's wrong with you being fat?"
Xu Yuecheng forced the half-fried egg into his mouth and chewed it in a few bites.
His dark eyes swept over Xiao Lan from head to toe, his gaze intense.
My gaze lingered on her slender waist and full breasts.
"I think it feels just right."
Xu Yuecheng finished the noodle soup in his bowl in one gulp, smacked his lips, and said, "If I were too skinny, it would be uncomfortable. I'm just right now, with a bit of flesh, it feels soft to the touch and comfortable to hug."
Xiao Lan blushed and kicked him under the table: "Eat your food, stop talking so much nonsense."
I'm serious.
Xu Yuecheng put down the large bowl and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.
He leaned forward, his arms braced on the stove, his muscular physique making his vest bulge.
"Besides, what's wrong with eating too much?"
A wicked smile crept across the man's lips as he lowered his voice, his tone slightly raspy and irreverent, "When we get back inside, we still have 'work' to do. With that kind of intensity, how will you have the energy to complain after eating so little? Don't complain of being tired before you've even had your fill."
The air in the kitchen suddenly became thick and sticky.
Even though Xiao Lan was an experienced driver, she was so embarrassed by those crude words that her face turned bright red.
She raised her foot and kicked Xu Yuecheng's calf hard under the table. Although the tip of her high heel had come off, she still managed to kick him hard with her toes.
"Xu Yuecheng, can't you be serious for once?"
Xiao Lan bit her lower lip, glaring at him with seductive eyes, "You can't seem to relax without saying those dirty things every day, can you? Where did that cold-faced devil from the team go? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if people hear you?"
Xu Yuecheng wasn't annoyed by the kick; instead, he used his strong calves to trap Xiao Lan's flailing foot.
He leaned back in his chair, pulled a toothpick from his pocket and put it in his mouth, looking completely nonchalant.
"I'm wondering about that too."
He stared at Xiao Lan's face, which looked even more beautiful under the light, and that burning desire in his heart surged up again.
"I used to swear at those rough guys in the team all the time, but I really couldn't be bothered to say such vulgar things."
Xu Yuecheng grinned self-deprecatingly, "But ever since I've tasted the sweetness of you, these words just keep popping out of my head, like they've grown legs, and I can't stop them."
He paused, leaned forward, and an oppressive aura instantly enveloped Xiao Lan.
"Maybe... they've tasted the sweetness? It's like opium addiction."
Xiao Lan's heart skipped a beat; she felt her legs go weak from his straightforward, almost shameless, love talk.
This man may be rough, but his wild sexiness is what makes women's hearts flutter.
But who is Xiao Lan?
She was no longer a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in the throes of first love, and she could handle this situation with ease.
She chuckled softly, but instead of pulling her trapped foot back, she rubbed it up his trouser leg.
"Alright, since Captain Xu is so interested, let's not just talk the talk but walk the walk."
She pointed to the unwashed dishes and chopsticks on the stove.
"If you want to 'exercise,' wash the dishes first. While you're at it, organize those bags of goods in the backyard and sort them. Tomorrow morning, I still have to go to the family compound to talk business with those old ladies."
Xu Yuecheng looked at her bossy demeanor and smiled helplessly.
"Fine, you're the boss. I'll wash it, I'll wash it, okay?"
He quickly gathered the bowls and chopsticks into the basin and poured water over them.
After rinsing the last bowl clean, I casually shook the water droplets off my hands.
He turned around and saw Xiao Lan carrying a change of clothes toward the door.
The white polyester shirt was slightly see-through, revealing glimpses of the pink vest underneath. Under the light, it accentuated a waistline that was impossible to look away from.
Xu Yuecheng's throat tightened, and he took a few big strides, blocking the road with his sweaty body.
"I've already boiled the water, two big buckets, that should be enough."
Xu Yuecheng's eyes burned with desire. He casually placed his large hand on the doorframe, enclosing Xiao Lan in this small space. "It's so late at night, boiling water wastes coal. How about... we wash together? It'll save water and coal."
He spoke in a grand and dignified manner, but the wolfish glint in his eyes was never hidden.
A man who has just tasted meat is like a flood that has been released; he wants to be with his wife all the time.
Moreover, although last night's encounter in the car was exciting, it was ultimately frustrating because I couldn't fully unleash my potential.
Now that he's back on his own turf, with the perfect timing, location, and support, the fire in his heart has been burning fiercely for a long time.
Xiao Lan looked up and met those eyes that seemed to want to devour her whole.
She knew exactly what was going on.
Men are like hawks; you can't feed them too much at once.
If he feels that he can get the meat with just a little reach, he'll stop appreciating it and stop caring about people.
They have to hang them.
You have to make him see the meat but not be able to eat it, making him feel itchy like he's being scratched by a cat, only then will he obediently listen to you and desperately try to please you for that one bite of meat.
"screw you."
Xiao Lan extended a finger and pressed it against Xu Yuecheng's hard chest, gently pushing him back. "Captain Xu, is this all you think about all day?"
She turned to the side and slipped under his arm like a slippery fish, leaving behind a pleasant scent of face cream.
"I've been running around all day, and my bones feel like they're about to fall apart."
Xiao Lan walked to the bathroom door, turned back and glanced at him with a half-smile, her hand on her lower back, her brows slightly furrowed, feigning weakness. "You had your fun last night, my back is still sore. Want to shower with you again? Will I even get any sleep tonight?"
These words sounded like a rejection, but the reproach in her tone, coupled with the gesture of putting her hand on her waist, appeared to Xu Yuecheng as blatant flirting.
This is praising him for being fierce.
Xu Yuecheng's chauvinistic vanity was instantly satisfied, and he couldn't help but grin.
"acid?"
He caught up with her in two strides, shamelessly wrapping his arms around Xiao Lan's waist from behind. His large hand expertly reached down to her lower back and gave it a couple of light rubs. "That's perfect for a sore back! Have you forgotten what I do for a living?"
